Le Banquet du Roy
Le Banquet du Roy brings a farmers’ market and a catered meal together at the Domaine de la Chopinière du Roy in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. Stalls feature a broad table of products, including honey, sausages, foie gras, oysters and champagne, with free tastings available across the gathering. The banquet adds a more convivial format, inviting guests to sit down for a meal that must be reserved in advance. Direct contact with producers keeps the emphasis on ingredients, craft and the social culture of sharing food. Set within Bourgueil wine country, the occasion reflects the Loire Valley’s close relationship between rural commerce, estate hospitality and communal dining within a working wine-growing village community.
Longchaumois Organic Fair
Humeur Bio’s organic fair in Longchaumois brings local producers and craftspeople together around the theme of building your own home.

POKOR LER performs Maloya and Sega, blending standards from Réunion’s Creole repertoire with original compositions alongside the fair’s sustainable-living programme.
Ranch Jack Anniversary Day
Ranch Jack celebrates two decades through horses, rural skills and the community that grew around the centre in Le Moutoux. Local farmers and craftspeople fill the market, while riders contest the in-house horseback archery and Équifun finals before equestrian demonstrations. Younger guests can meet the ponies in a village designed for first rides, giving families a direct introduction to the ranch. Displays about Ranch Jack trace an unusual story that began in Martinique before crossing the Atlantic and taking root in the Jura. A Creole meal carries that Caribbean connection into the shared table, alongside refreshments and food available throughout the gathering. A raffle and the varied programme bring competitors, makers and neighbours together around the ranch’s anniversary.

Each market extends into an open-air concert, giving regional food and craft a social setting where Breton song can meet wider maritime, folk, blues and world-music traditions.
Marche Cuisine in Ploubalay
